Review Quotes

Oxford Art Journal

"Gilman offers up the ambiguity of fantasies about health and illness for discursive redemption by his readers, providing insights without judgements which is another reason why the book make such an excellent teaching tool. It is a stimulating synthetic work which reaches a new level of originality, provokes new questions and points toward further directions."
